Besides, an electrician working in the city can earn anywhere from $120k-$150k (between Rs.50 Lakhs and 75 Lakhs per annum). Secondly, a technician who is willing to stretch beyond and take on a full-time workload could earn more than $150k. Thirdly, even lower skilled jobs in cafes and retail command a high minimum wage with the worker’s rights being well-protected. Generally, overtime payments are high. As a result, there is excellent work-life balance with a 38-hour work week.

This is an ideal opportunity for ITI / Diploma holders who are experienced and the minimum requirement to migrate, which is the primarily based on scoring English test and less than 32 years of age:

Of particular note is South Australia which is going all out to attract migration into the state. Also, the newspaper “Australian” reports that Mr Marshall’s (Premier of South Australia) strategy to grow the population is through a greater share of the skilled migration intake. It also includes concessions for overseas students to stay longer in the south upon graduating; attract residents from the east; and win back young South Australian expats. Besides, the attractive property prices and the type of jobs that are on offer have made South Australia an attractive proposition.

Besides, of all the sites you could visit, this official government site is the most comprehensive, the most exhaustive and the most up-to-date.

Australia – The Land of Opportunity

Here is a list of the top five reasons why our customers choose to migrate to Australia – The Land of Opportunity

1. Job/Career opportunities:

Australia encourages work visa applications from skilled workers and facilitates skilled migration. Australia has a long-standing tradition of welcoming emigrants. A thriving economy, it has invested in multiple sectors such as in mining, tourism, farming, aquaculture, horticultural, viticulture and service industries as well as the health care industry. This has created opportunities for highly skilled overseas workers and professionals to take up employment with Australian companies.

2. High Standard of Living:

Australia measures at #2 in the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI).
Consequently, Australians enjoy a high standard of living, from housing to public transport, Medicare system, education and other benefits. A developed country which is cosmopolitan and multi-cultural in nature, it offers a diverse range of lifestyle options.

3. An excellent immigration system:

Australia is an immigrant-friendly country. Australia’s Migration Programme does not discriminate on the basis of race or religion. Also, the Australian government sets immigration intake numbers on a yearly basis and the immigration policies are non-discriminatory, with applicants having to meet the same selection criteria. Besides, the Government is currently focusing on Migrants who can demonstrate they will bring Professional, Trade or Business skills to Australia.

4. Family immigration:

Firstly, Australia is a developed country with multiple opportunities for you & your spouse. Secondly, it offers a direct permanent resident visa to skilled professionals who are equipped with specialized skills that have great demand in Australia. Thirdly, a Permanent resident visa gives the same benefits as availed by an Australian citizen apart from Voting rights and Australian passport. This enables you to be treated at par with a citizen while competing for any available opportunity. Apart from this, Australia offers many social security benefits to the permanent residents and citizens, i.e. subsidized or free education, healthcare coverage, and several other government services.

Benefits of a PR:

  • Receives almost all social& economic benefits that citizens are entitled to, including free health care.

Australian immigration law is quite complex, confusing and forever changing. Consequently, by engaging specialists to represent you or your business, in relation to a visa or sponsorship application, you can be confident that you are getting the most accurate advice from professionals who have a comprehensive understanding of the relevant laws and policies.

Australia – The Land of Opportunity is true in more ways than just employment.
